Bias Gender Dalam Pekerjaan Rumah Tangga Domestik Dan Buruh Migran
Studies in a few cities/districts in east Java concerning work activities of household workers (PRT/Pembantu Rumah Tangga) domestic and abroad, demonstrate that work division according to gender has undergone some changes. The domestic/public and productive/reproductive space division, are no longer applied on women and men in terms of livelihood. in a household environment, household activities no longer have a reproductive connotation, but also productive. Furthermore, at the moment household activities have entered a commercial sector, demonstrated by the phenomenon of female household workers abroad. However, there is still gender bias and double standards in valuing that kind of work. Also, women in urban industrial sector who work as migrant worker abroad, has great impacts on the structure and gender relations of the women's household. The economic role of women has positive impacts on the allocation of household power, yet it does not affect the power allocation in the society. This study recommends the need to arrange a social safety model for household workers, both domestic and abroad, and also the need to formulate a concept of domestic and public works with a household basis congruous to the role and actual function of women
Strengthening Adolescent Reproductive Health as a Strategy to Diminish Maternal Mortality: A Case Study in Malang
The aims of this study are: (1) describing adolescent knowledge and understanding of reproductive health, (2) describing gender issues related to adolescent reproductive health, (3) describing delayed medical assistance due to socio-cultural aspects resulting in the death of the mother, and (4) strengthening adolescent awareness of reproductive health as a strategy to decrease maternal mortality. Based on a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research was conducted at Malang Regency using the snowball method, and a survey on adolescent understanding of reproduction was conducted in Singosari and Pujon. Results demonstrated that adolescent knowledge of reproductive health is relatively low. As a result, adolescents\u27 lack of understanding of reproductive health leads to unwanted pregnancies, and therefore, young women and their families are ashamed and receive social sanctions from the community. Another result revealed that the maternal mortality rate is high due to socio-economic and cultural conditions. People delay seeking medical assistance because they are experiencing poor economic conditions. Thus, they choose the help of child shamans rather than the help of doctors, midwives, or public health centers. Regarding this matter, reproductive education for young teenagers is pivotal as a preventive measure to reduce maternal mortality. Moreover, the schools may assist in this effort by including gender and reproductive education in physical education, health and sports, and biology courses

The results showed that when they first became retired migrants, they were at risk due to the pandemic (dismissed, repatriated, and unpaid). To meet the needs of life, they make a strategy in the social, cultural, and economic fields which is the right choice and the capital owned by post-migrants can be developed, both socially, culturally, and economically.
